LAB POINTS
- recommended moving coil (MC) cartridge in Ortodon's Quintet series, a step up from the
- nude elliptical diamond stylus
- spacious, deep detailedsound; avery good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic
- body constructed from lightweight, impact-resistant ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material
- low internal impedance for compatibility w/ a wide range of preamps transformers
"The Quintet Blue is a very homogeneous cartridge. The Quintet Blue's sound image will tend to more smooth reproduction compared to Quintet Red and moderate dynamic strength compared to Quintet Bronze. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever." - Ortofon
